I've been here since Sunday. The trip here was a bit of a hassle, I almost missed my first flight, but I made it in one piece. Yesterday I got to get my first view of the lab and meet the people I will be working with this summer. We got acquainted with each other and the work we will be doing. The project I will be focusing on will involve the collection of data from river beds. While normally this wouldn't be a difficult task, the site that we are working with doesn't have cellular service so we have to find a way around that. A possible solution will be to create a network of short range radio transmitters that will take the data that the sensors collect and transmit them to a relay station where we will hopefully have access to more power and a way to send long range transmissions. I will make another post towards the end of the week with more information after I've gotten more time to work. Until then check out the picture bellow drawn by one of my colleagues its a good visual representation of what we want to do.
